Sold Husqvarna 455 Rancher PHO - For Parts or Rebuild

[dougand3]

If anybody here wants this...$45 + shipping = 17 lbs from 35757. Would be 1-2 lb lighter without jug and piston.

Bought this off a firewood seller. The jug is cracked and piston skirt has a chip out.

Any info on how the cylinder was cracked?

I'm considering this saw for my first attempt at a rebuild.

Firewood guy didn't know - he has multiple guys using saw. But it looks like a 3-4" limb rammed end on into jug - bent/broken fins and crack surrounding impulse tube. Had to have happened with top cover off - cover is fine. See piston chunk missing on intake side - probably happened at the same time. Quite a shame because cyl walls, piston and ring look great.

If you haven't built a saw yet Jonathan, stick with one that isn't a clam shell. They can put a bad taste in your mouth and ruin the fun of building one.

Dana,

Thanks for looking out for me.

Not to spam the OP's thread but I would suggest starting with one of the husqvarna 50 series saws like a 51 or a 55. Unless you can find a cheap Sachs-Dolmar locally.

Brandon,

I have a 114, I'm just waiting on a tank assembly for. Though it will be just a tank transfer, and such.

I will see what I can acquire on my next trip to the Doughnut Drop off.

Thanks for the advice on what to start with.

 

[dougand3]

Agree that a 51 or 55 is a great first build. Even a 50 into a 55 is simple but you have to enlarge the jug impulse hole.
